A strong legal and political basis… • EU-Russia Partnership & Cooperation Agreement • Four Common EU-Russia Spaces, including the 4 th Common Space of Research and Education including Cultural Aspects • EC-Russia S&T Cooperation Agreements
…and a regular in-depth policy dialogue… • Regular meetings between the Russian Minister and the EC Commissioner • Joint EU-Russia S&T Cooperation Committee (S&T Agreement steering body) • Joint EU-Russia Thematic Working Groups in priority areas (Nanotechnologies, Health, Food- Agriculture-Biotechnology, Energy,…) • Frequent meetings at expert level (EU & Russian scientists & specialists)
…have led to successful cooperation: • Russia was the biggest “third country” (non-EU, non- associated country) in FP6 • Russia participated in 200 projects worth € 2 billion • For this participation, Russia contributed € 1 6 m illion ; the rest was financed by the EC • Russia participated mainly in: environment / sustainable development, specific INCO projects, nanotechnologies, information technologies, aeronautics, life sciences, genomics and biotechnology for health, food quality & safety...
• Russian partners participated in global & regional cooperation projects which have great influence on science & their related policy areas… • … which covered energy including renewables and nuclear fusion; environment & climate change; aeronautics including green engines; food products including emerging risks, health including new vaccines, new epidem ics, ageing… • I n many cases (including in big projects) the Russia’s participation costs were fully covered by the EC, in the others by more than 50% .

I nternational cooperation in FP7
I nternational cooperation in FP7 : m ore integrated • possible throughout FP7 • thematic competence + resources + management in the same hands • activities, modalities and resources detailed in the work programmes, updated annually
I nternational Cooperation in FP7 2 different m echanism s for participation in projects in “Cooperation”: 1 . All themes are open for international cooperation . All themes are open for international cooperation 1 Russia can participate in all projects (!!) Minimum number of participants: 3 from the EU/Associated countries + 1 from Russia Russian research entities may receive EC funding as in FP6
I nternational Cooperation in FP7 2 different m echanism s for participation in projects in “Cooperation”: 2. Specific International Cooperation Actions ( 2 . Specific International Cooperation Actions ( SICA SICA ) within all the ) within all the thematic priorities except except “ “Security Security” ” thematic priorities (a novelty of FP7) (a novelty of FP7) Address specific problems which partner country (Russia) faces or which have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest & mutual benefit For these topics, a minimum number of 2 participants from the EU/Associated countries + 2 coming from 2 different oblasts of Russia is required
“Cooperation” Collaborative research / International co-operation RULES OF PARTICIPATION 1. “Opening” of all activities The minimum number of participants shall be 3 independent legal entities established in three different EU Member States or Associated Countries Third Countries as ADDITIONAL partners 2. Specific international co-operation actions (special rule) T he minimum number of participants shall be 4 independent legal entities of which: – at least 2 are established in two different EU Member States or Associated countries and – at least 2 are established in International Cooperation Partner Country (Russia) coming from 2 different regions Third Countries as COMPULSORY partners
Overview of international cooperation topics in the COOPERATI ON Program m e in w hich Russia and Black Sea region are m entioned Russia • Epidemiological investigations into long-term trends of population health as consequence of socio-economic • Health transitions, including life-style induced health problems • Animal By-Products: Novel methods of treatment of animal by-products for the production of substances with biologically valuable functional properties. • Plants as Edible Vaccines. FAB • Industrial Enzymes: Rational design of biocatalysts and enzyme systems with requested properties. • Network of Third Countries National Information Points • ICT Networked Embedded and Control Systems: Control of large-scale complex distributed systems. • Extending the value chain for GHG emissions other than CO2 associated with coal production and use • Energy technology transfer - Development of strategies and tools aimed at a better exploitation of energy research results. EU Neighbouring and Developing Countries Energy Support to regulatory activities for CO2 capture and storage (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) International collaboration is strongly recommended for this topic, especially with member countries of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, and more specifically with the largest emerging economies • Flow control, computational fluid dynamics and airframe noise reduction: • Multidisciplinary optimisation tools and structural, wind-tunnel and flight testing techniques • Smart and self-repair materials Transport Explosives detection techniques • The connected traveller in the city, region and world of tomorrow (E.G. CHINA, INDIA, RUSSIA, BRAZIL, AND SOUTH AFRICA) :
